German Skating News - Part 3

[Marta24]

More German ID drama to come.
I'm not the biggest fan of Zoueva. Probably I should move my symapthies to U/S

Or K/N

 

[text_skate]

Or K/N

Even better. How could I forget them

 

[Jeschke]

Probably I should move my symapthies to U/S

They are the hottest german dance couple, no doubt

Or K/N

I still have a feeling they might be the dark horse next season. They improved a lot in their last season, and I totally believe in the power of Babs.
I expect L/P to be sent to Nebelhorn to secure the spot, but who gets it later, will be drama for sure.

Only imagine Nüchtern gets to go, and Mari has to stay at home
There will be broken hearts among the disciplines, that's for sure

Are Vartmann/Landgraf and Hocke/Blommaert technically eligible for GP events as a returned/split couple?

I don't think so. The 2016-17 GP Announcement defines "Returning Split Couples" as having placed 7-12 at either of the most recent 2 Worlds.

The German Fed has published the Nation Team for the 2017 / 2018 Season

From Oberstdorf point of view it's great that Jennifer and Benjamin made it to B level in ice dance. Would love to see them in some major international event next season.

Jenny & Ben for Pyeongchang, yeah!

 

[Jeschke]

Jenny & Ben for Pyeongchang, yeah!

now this, to be honest, seems very unlikely at this point.

 

[lizafan]

Time's running out for Jenny. She will be 25 soon.

I guess we got a statement from L/P via FB. It doesn't say much except that they've moved forward to train with Zoueva. Interesting. Wondering if they will keep their FD music choice. Changes can be good but risky especially in the Olympic season but I guess they know what they do. M/D will not be amused about that. German Ice Dance gives us the Drama guys, love it!

I noticed they've since deleted this 4/15/17 FB post:

Lorenz/Polizoakis announced new Free Dance music on Facebook.

Trio Elegiaque No. 2, Piano Concerto No. 3 by Sergei Rachmaninoff

 

[sanni]

Can't wait what comes next. It would be very interesting to know, what M/D think about it.
I think L/P will change the music for the FD, but it's really exciting. Hope more news are coming soon

I've heard rumours that Vartmann/ Landgraf have split. Can anyone verify? At least they have not practised in Oberstdorf for couple of weeks.

Dare you

That post is just 2 weeks old. So maybe they are just somewhere else?
Are the Wendes in Oberstdorf right now?

Wendes are there. Vartmann/ Landgraf not. They have n't been seen there after they have done Choreo at Switzerland. No time for vacation I'd say.

[alchemy void]

I refuse to believe Mari has lost another partner!

I mean the dude left ice capades for a year to do this, so if they have split up, that would be just tragic.

Slay Mari!

 

[Sabine-Yuna]

Sorry posted in Jeschkes post.

 

[Sabine-Yuna]

So again: Wendes are in Oberstdorf, Vartmann/ Landgraf have not been seen there after Choreo.

 

[supergirl573]

Is she super difficult to work with or something?

If it's true That actually says more about Mari than about him. Perhaps Blommaert was wise to leave the partnership. ..

 

[Jeschke]

Can we just wait please!
And Mari is for sure a girl with ambition and determination; there is nothing wrong with that.

Maybe @Eislauffan has heard anything

Unfortunately, I haven't heard anything and I'm still in Russia. Will ask someone who could know, though.

 

[Jeschke]

Thanks

 

[npavel]

yes, she is. I heard from a secure source that she just stayed away from training for two weeks without explanation leaving his partner (Benjamin) there and waiting for her

While you are there, are there any news about Tiukova/Tiukov's skaters? I know that Sopot is now skating with Poluyanova, but what other pairs they have now?
Or any update from Pavlova's group and from Dmitriev's group? And Velikov's group...

 

[Jeschke]

yes, she is. I heard from a secure source that she just stayed away from training for two weeks without explanation leaving his partner (Benjamin) there and waiting for her

Interesting. Can your secure source tell me with which Benjamin Mari skated before/in between/after Just, van Cleave and Blommaert?

Ups, sorry, I didn't realise that I am in the German skating thread.

 

[npavel]

I talked with someone at Euros who explained me why Benjamin have quit skating with Mari, and that was one of the main reasons. There is much more witch I don't want to talk about here. I don't have the possibility to talk with my source until the next big competition I'm attending, witch I think will be Euros again

I am not into the details, I only am/was interested in the skaters (Benjamin XXX) name; as no german pairs skater with that name comes to my mind
Thanks

Are you possibly talking about Ruben Blommaert? That was the one she has been splitting with before Euros this year.
